I like facebook, because I can tag people in the photos, and it automatically notifies them that their pictures are available for viewing. It works very well especially for event photos.

I use snapfish, but only so I can do free phototgraphy for my daughters' school drill team.
—*Telitha*

I use a Yahoo Group.
—*Cornell*

I'm switching from Facebook to my own blog.
—*M. E. Hill*

Smugmug.com is where my photos are displayed.
—*C. Warren*

I share photos on all of the above, and I use a Facebook fan page for my photo business. Add to that Flickr and Twitter. I think these days, anyone in my position, as a fairly new, up and coming photographer, it is important to utilize any and all networks to promote your self and your business.

I put my shots on Google Picasa. It has a basic editing program that only changes the pictures in the running application. Also the editing program has an direct link to Picasa albums. It is easy from there to send a link to my friends and family so they can view the pictures at their discretion.

i love facebook for sharing personal (family, vacation etc.) photos...this is strictly social, not professional.
—*Carol Eisenberg*

I use Flickr it is by far the best social photography site.
—*R. Sandusky*

i like Flickr for its ease of use and for the dedication to photography, there are many many photos and very few words, the way it was meant to be a picture being worth a 1000 words.
—*Albert Dussault*

I use flickr they have better quality photos displayed.
—*Linda Johnston*

I use flickr.com and love it.
—*Timothy Grabowski*

The big sites have terms of service attempting to steal your images.
—*Mr P.*

I only share with people that I know!
—*Bob Loynd*

Flickr is the main site I use for everything other than business.
—*Mike Booth*

I use a wordpress blog hosted on my own website. I think flickr should have been an option as a LOT of people are using that.
—*Aurora Lee*

Flickr has worked well for me as a way of testing public reaction to photos I'm marketing.
—*Chuck Wilson*

Facebooks works quite well, with few hassles, buts lots of advertising.
—*Michael Crowe*

I share family type photos of the grand kids on Facebook, my creative images on betterphoto.com and several JPG Magazine, Shutterbug and others.
—*Chuck*

I like the ability to share photos with friends and family on a private web site.
—*Donna Donatacci*

I often put one image from a senior session up on Facebook, it has generated interest from others who then want us to do photos for them.
—*Donna Jones*

My photos first go to Smugmug.com where they are on display.
—*C Warren*

I use Picasa web albums.
—*Campbell*

I've slowed down on sharing photos. photo.net was the main one. For business I Twitter a bunch of photos when on trips but they don't make sense since I don't have a phone that is easy to type on, and I can only add information in the subject line.
—*Alton Marsh*

I use Aminus3.
—*Betty*

I share ONLY with friends.
—*Linn Goldsmith*

I am not into computers that much. I belong to 2 camera clubs.
—*Joe Good*

A combination of a web hosting service (Flickr, Smugmug) and a networking site like Facebook seem to work the best.
—*Stephen G.*

I've done some blogging, but it's hard to keep it up. Plus the software that I used was susceptible to spam, which completely inundated it. I have a personal web page, which I update from time to time. But I'm usually too busy. I don't have any use for social networking. Nor the time.
